Larry Clifford Bergh (born April 2, 1945) is an American former professional basketball player.
He was raised in Trenton, North Dakota, a Native American community. He is the son of a Native American mother, Selina (née Falcon) (1909-1996) and a Norwegian father, Orris Bergh (1905-1982).[citation needed] The family then moved to Walla Walla, Washington in the late 1950s.
A 6'8" forward from Weber State University, Bergh was selected by the Chicago Bulls in the eleventh round of the 1969 NBA Draft. He never played with the Bulls, however, joining instead the Pittsburgh Pipers of the American Basketball Association. In 20 games with the Pipers, Bergh averaged 6.1 points and 4.3 rebounds.
Bergh later became known as a softball player.[1]
A father of two and grandfather of three, he lives in Tennessee with his wife, Pat.
